Harry, Just a few comments before I start plugging in numbers. Due to the fact that the Nt ratio is less than 3.0, I calculate about 2.71, the Beal Equation is...
Hello Tom, Sorry for the delay, I have been "off line" for a while. Here are some specifications for the engine. Net swept volume of each cylinder is...
Harry, Please forgive me for being a bit thick but does that mean that each PAIR (1 hot and 1 cold) have a swept volume of 200cc? That would be 800cc/4...
Hi Tom, Very sorry, I thought I had added some photos to my album but I am thinking of another site I sent them to. I have loaded some photos to a folder...
Tom, I have been doubling up with photos and had two folders. There were already some in a folder entitled Another Stirling Outboard in Tasmania, which I put...

Harry, Please do not hesitate to ask for specific explanation. However, I am writing an in depth explanation of all these numbers and formulas to reduce them...
I've been pondering a gamma stirling engine design and realized that I have seen three examples of where the expansion/compression cylinder is tied to the...
The gamma configuration is somewhat an anomaly in the Stirling world. We are concentrating on the Alpha opposed engine and the Beta coaxial engine so really...
Today I am pleased to announce that I have finished with the development of the GCS spread sheet and will no longer support its use or application. The GCS...

My wife, who knows my interests in Stirling, mentioned that she heard story on NPR. I finally got a chance to track it down. It's not that technical, but ...

... I am unable to find any prints to work from on the page you linked to. Do any drawings, with dimensions and tolerances, exist? I have a small machine shop...

Andrew: If you go to the SESUSA website, I think is where I saw it, there is a chart with the ratios of different dimensions which allows you to scale to any...
Andrew, The dimensions to be used on the drawings are the product of using the charts on the website. Each group will generate their own drawings and supply...
Please see my answer to Andrew about drawings. Yes, some persons have noticed some anomolies, IE7 seems to work tolerably well or FireFox. I will try Google...
Michael, I know of no such chart at SESUSA. Please let me know the URL if you can find it. SESUSA does not indulge in LTDs. Thanks, Tom SESUSA owner SESUSA...
I have been studying Mr. Allan's design tools, and find them extremely comprehensive and helpful. In the "NOTATION" section of his document,however, I am...
I use Firefox and had no trouble viewing the page. I just don't find any materials that are of use to a machinist who simply wants to make the parts for an...
This is true. The AJO process generates the values to use in the drawings but not the drawings themselves. That is why we are forming the teams. Tom...
